What kit have you bought mate?

The switch is located behind the alternator, i recomend buying a double adapter so you can still run the OEM switch.

This ensures you still have the pressure light working.

its a tudor gauge 0 > 100 lb 0 > 7 kg/cm2 which means nothing to me to be honest and the sender unit

if thats only a 100psi max mate, it wont be enough.

Double adapters are available from LMA Motorsport mate

See if its any use to you Subaru Impreza CarPC

Ive just done a search for tudor gauges to try and get a better idea of what you have mate.. unfortunately im having trouble finding anything.

Do you have a link anywhere?

EDIT

Page 10 in Tissy rather nice PDF guide shows the correct LMA adapter for the oil pressure fitting.

There isnt a best gauge as such mate..

Any of the japanese gauges are regarded to be pretty good such as Defi, Blitz, HKS, GReddy etc.. theyre all made by the same people.

Other than that theres Autometer from the USA, the SPA range are very good, and you wont go wrong with a STACK item either.

Some of the japanese gauges require a control unit to drive them, Defi etc, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

Are you looking to run more than one meter in the future??

Its all about how much you want to spend really.

Personally id have a look at a few and do your homework a bit before parting with any cash.

Hope that helps
